It is headed by a SOO Line GP-38 that features dual maintenance-free motors, electronic forward-neutral-reverse control (no annoying "buzz"), a diesel horn, operating headlight, illuminated number boards (w/black numbers), operating magnetic couplers at both ends, and metal chassis, handrails, wheels and axles. This GP-38 features two powered four wheel trucks each with two wheel traction tire drive. The diesel features very popular and prototypical SOO Line graphics. There are four freight cars and an illuminated caboose that comprise the balance of the set. By the numbers:  

  • Lionel 18825 SOO Line GP-38 (6-18825)

Within the outer set box each item is individually boxed in an orange Lionel box.
